Tagged: ftp Upload
Since the Zip files are too big, I add them through my ftp under wp-cart-for-digital-products/downloads/mp3/name of zip file. How can I retrieve the zip files through FTP? I can only upload up to 10 MB through the site. I don’t see an option for FTP.
What do you mean by “…retrievve the zip files through FTP?” You mean as the site owner, or as a customer?
If you are trying, as the site owner, to download your files; use Filezilla in the Binary transfer mode.
Here is the “official” Filezilla tutorial:

The following video tutorial should be helpful for you too:

As a site owner I don’t see how to add the mp3 zip files through the admin panel. You only see the option to upload it through the computer or media library and I am only allowed to upload up to 10mb.
I already know how to use my FTP. I have been using it to add the MP3 Zip files for the older plugin PDownloads but with that plugin I can see what I add through the admin panel. WIth this plugin I don’t see it. I placed 2 of them through FTP ni the wp-cart-for-digital-products/mp3 folder. But I don’t see it through the Admin Panel.
The tutorials you sent shows me how to use the FTP which I already know.
The plugin doesn’t “know” or keep track of where you “put” your files. It is flexible enough so that you can place them anywhere underneath your site’s document root. Any upload capability which you use in the plugin, simply piggybacks off the WP media library code. You should consider the uploader as a convenience for users who are less advanced (and don’t know FTP).
You also shouldn’t really be placing your download files underneath the plugin directory. All it takes is one time, for you to forget they are there, and you will lose everything the next time you upgrade the plugin.
